Hawk Search Runs the Bases
April 13, 2014
We noted that HawkSearch, an open source search solution, from Thankx Media, has been licensed by Wrigleyville Sports. If you are not a baseball fan, you may not recognize the mythic stature of the Chicago Cubs’ baseball team and its relationship with all things Wrigley. According to the firm’s news release (written without too much of that old-style Endeca rhetoric), we learned:
Wrigleyville chose Hawk Search for the following features:
- User-friendly merchandising tools – a merchandising workbench that enables business users to generate dynamic landing pages, implement ranking and relevancy rules, and promote products.
- Easy to understand analytics – customizable dashboards can be used by merchandisers, buyers, and marketing managers to monitor activity on products and adjust strategies.
- Robust out-of-the-box functionality – Hawk Search includes faceted navigation, smart AutoComplete, dynamic landing pages, merchandising tools, and more without customization.
Thankx is an authorized Endeca integrator with some good, old fashioned Endeca professionals on the Illinois company’s team.
More information is available at www.thankx.com. Play ball or navigate to the Cubbies’ store and buy a Wrigley Field cap, no chewing gum included. If you want the computationally challenging Endeca on demand system system, Thankx can fix you up. Information about this late 1998 system is at http://www.thanxmedia.com/what-we-do/site-search/endeca/endeca-on-demand/.
